the Joint property also of Roseufeld and
Wilson, than to go on adding to q pictur-
esque list of failures which is sufficiently
long. OF course this new work may no
hit the mark, but it is interesting to notice
that the Black Hussar, the book for
which is the last work Rosenfeld did for
McCaull, is the last genuine success that
manager has had, outside of the Mlkado.
The season of 1885 and 1886, McCaull
made with the MIksdo and Black Hussar
about $4,000. This last season he
dropped with Don Cesar de BEzar, the
Growing Hen, Josephine Sold by Her
Sisters, Indiana, Ruddygore and other
elaborate tizzies, about half that amount,
and Of course he is going 10 make en- eff
fort to save the other half. Besides, this
new opera, which is to be called the
Grand Elector, and which is an adapta-
ton from French sources, McCaul has an
eye on the American rights for the new
Gilbert and Sullivan opera, out
side Of New York and Boston.
TX this should be success
the operate manager could soon reCOup
mis- losses. As matters are now, howev-
er, he has g rough road to travel. His
summer season at Wallack's theater lasts
three months yet, and all he hiss to ill in
time with are revivals OF Indians, which
has already failed in New York, and the
Beggar Student and possibly The Merry
War. He has Suppe's new opera, The
B. llmen, but that was not g success in
Vienna, and Cheever Goodwin, who is
doing the book, says 1t is excessively
stupid. the Grand Elector, by the way,
ROsenfeld's new opera, will De saved by
McCaull for production in New York dur

Not Well Posted.

1t is unfortunate for the country that the
Hon. James B. McCreery, of Kentucky, de-
cided to adopt the diplomatic and consular
bill as measure upon which to use his
eloquence for the benefit Of q rural con-
sttuency which knows nothing of the
actual needs Of our foreign service. Mr..
McCreery has a strong intellectual face,
and is an accomplished gentleman, having
taken first honors at the close Of his college
life, but he is hampered in his effort to be
useful to his country by penny wise and
pound foolish theories and connections
which prevent him from being wise legis-
latOr in matters Of national moment by
becoming parsimonious when he only de-
sires TO be economical. In opposing the
excellent measure now before the House,
and which has the sanction of the De-
partment Of State, he dis,loses himself as
reformer striking at reform. There never
has heen in the history Of legislation con-
cerning appropriations for our foreign SER
vice bill containing so many wise sug-
gestions. The passage Of 1t would be
long stride in the direction of practical
reform. Mr.. McCreery, with his accom-
plishments and intelligence, mustknow this,
and yet tforsomenarrow reason he attemptsto to
thwart its passage. Some arguments which
he used in opposition were not carefully
considered or they never would have been
made by man who desires to be just aud
fair. When he says, 81 believe whenever
you say to those men who are now being
paid by fees that they are to receive fixed
annual salaries they will become careless
about fees" he forgets that even consul's
carelessness cannot affect the official fees of
q consulate because an enactment of the
national legislature makes the collection
of those fees imperative. The great bulk
Of fees turned into the United States
Treasury are derived from the legal
ization OF invoices, and Congress by legisla-
ton compels each invoice of goods shipped
to the United States to be authenticated By
United States consul residing at the near
est point of shipment. Thus the weakness
of dozen arguments against the bill used
by MIR. McCreery could be easily enforced II
space would permit, but 1t ia sufficient to
say that after carefully reading his speech
we must frankly admit that the representa-
tive Kentuckian is not as familiar with the
| subject as q man should be who desires to
discuss 1t with seriousness and ability.
